Walk Your Way to Better Health

Walk your way to better health from Earley Wellness Group

 

Starting a new fitness routine can be a little daunting, but improving your health doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, it can be as simple as putting one foot in front of the other!

Why Walk?

Walking is an effective, easy, and low-impact way to improve your health. In fact, regular physical activity such as walking can provide major benefits, including:

  • Reduced risk of heart disease
  • Weight loss
  • Lower blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Reduced risk of developing diabetes
  • Stress relief

Getting Started

Set aside some time in your day, choose a safe route, invest in some comfortable walking shoes, and go! While it's ideal to get at least 45 minutes of moderate exercise a day, any amount of activity can be beneficial. Remember, start slowly and work your way up if you haven't been exercising regularly. Aim to walk a short distance three times a week, and increase your distance and speed gradually.

Stay Motivated

Stay motivated by walking with a partner, listening to music, or choosing a route that you really enjoy. You may try carrying a pedometer to keep track of how far you've gone. As your body adjusts to the new activity, you may find that you have more energy, your moods feel more balanced, and you feel healthier overall. If you set realistic goals and stick to them, you'll be amazed at what a simple daily walk can do for your health!
